gonna put it down. all these little crime thangs
 homeless  the world is crazy bwoy
 it's like this
 it's the way it is
 Heavy out there.. it's heavy.
 Verse 1
 Was I really such a bad child that I deserved to get hit with boards
 and whooped with extension cords?
 did you forget that I was your creation
 and all I wanted from you all was love  hope  and motivation?
 son  you're disrespectful and you're talking back,
 get out my face, kicked me out the house
 and wouldn't even let me plead my case.
 now I'm homeless and I'm freezing like the morgue,
 the only thing keepin me alive is the Lord
 needless to say it's times like this I'd rather be locked up then
 drinkin water out my hands and eatin out of garbage cans
 can I come back home, huh could I?
 Son, you're on your own, why should I?
 Chorus
 Things'll never change, that's just the way it is
 Nobody's even concerned
 Some things'll never change, that's just the way it is
 when will we ever learn?
 Verse 2
 Huh. three years from now, I think I'm gon be straight, (straight)
 I put my name on the list for section 8
 tried out for the army but I was flat footed,
 didn't do no harm to me, cuz I was used to it
 if I apply for some work, let's make a bet,
 I'll get the nine
 cuz I don't know about the internet
 What do you think we need to do to change about this nation?
 need to provide more jobs and better education
 nuclear weapons (puh) should be stopping crimes,
 already got enough to blow the world up
 a thousand times
 the birds and the bees, deadly disease,
 teenage pregnancies, std's
 Chorus
 Verse 3
 A-wuh a wait a minute, I hear sirens
 Oh that's the couple down the street
 domestic violence
 either them or the little girl in 306
 she's always telling everyone that she gon slice her wrists
 I guess that's the way it is in the life of sin
 where you'll prolly end up dead, or in the pen
 but my family ain't no better than the next
 my auntie brenda turned her own sister in
 for writing bad checks
 and save folks try to hit you where it hurts
 knowin they the biggest hypocrites in the church
 we need to give our minds a bath and
 do some scrubbin'
 stop the hate and start the lovin'
 Chorus (4x
